Tanu Weds Manu Returns is the soundtrack album to the 2015 film of the same name directed by Aanand L. Rai, starring R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut in dual roles; it is the sequel to Tanu Weds Manu (2011). The film's soundtrack is composed by Krsna Solo and Tanishk–Vayu[a], with lyrics written by Raj Shekhar, Vayu Shrivastav, N.S. Chauhan and Surjeet Singh Ral. The album was released through Eros Music on 1 May 2015 to positive reviews from critics and received numerous accolades.
Krsna Solo who composed music for Tanu Weds Manu had returned for the sequel. The first film's music was initially revolving around the introduction of the characters, the sequel expands in terms of scale and music, becoming it more contemporary and approachable. Krsna added "the story has matured and so has the music".[1] The inclusion of urban elements resulted in Krsna using electronic music and had further composed a jazz number, which he stated "Despite being truly jazz, the lyrics are very Indian, and you know they belong to the world of TWM."[2]
While Krsna had composed most of the tracks, one song "Banno" was composed and written by Tanishk–Vayu.[a] Tanu Weds Manu Returns marked the film debut of composer Tanishk Bagchi;[3] he previously worked as a music producer with Aditya Dev through The Shaukeens (2014) and composed the title song for the Colors TV show Thapki Pyar Ki (2015–2017). Rai had listened to the song "Oopar Oopar" which he and Vayu uploaded it on YouTube, and which he liked it.[4] Rai then met the duo and asked to compose a wedding song. They then thought of "Banno Teri Ankhiyan Soorme" from the film Dushmani: A Violent Love Story (1995) which was a folk number. Bagchi adapted the tune of the folk number and modernized it after the duo and Rai, were not receptive of praising the bride's appearance as they found to be cliched and thought about the swagger she had, with the song being titled "Banno Tera Swagger".[5]
The soundtrack preceded with "Banno" as the first single released on 19 April 2015.[6][7] The second single "Move On" was released on 25 April.[8] The soundtrack was released under Eros Music label on 1 May.[9]
